You're right. Surely it's in our best interests, if we want to attract and retain new developers, to try and do things with our public, official git repositories in broadly the same way that everyone else does? I would further argue that no-one *needs* to have `git push --force' access to the official git repos for ordinary development. It's only actually *necessary* for the occasional "Oops, I'm a complete idiot" moment (I've had them, pcjc2's had them, they happen), and we do have a decent number of geda-project admins who are active enough to be able to fix that kind of issue pretty quickly. I think I've used it about twice in the last 24 months (and I have committed some big lumps of code in that time).
